Seven Million Republicans Who Have
. Not Made Up Their Minds.:
THE KOMINAIIOX IS SOt SETTLED.
No Mane Sa ao Popular an to Secure tlie
Nomination on the 'First - Ballot
By any Means.
Cjiicago, May 18. Chairman J. S.
Clarkeon, of the republican - national
committee, arrived yesterday from Hot
Springs, Ark., fully restored to health.
To a reporter he said : "Seven millions
of republicans, who will be represented
at Minneapolis, have not made up their
minds regarding a candidate. 1 The ' re
sults of the state conventions clearly
show this. There will be, more unin
structed delegates in the Minneapolis
convention that has ever been known in
the history of the republican party.
Almost all' the Northern states, and
states which cast electoral votes which
will elect, sent uninstructed delegations.
The majority of the uninstructed - dele
gations come from the Southern states.
Some able editors and Federal office
holders claim the nominatian is settled
already. I certainly do not think so,
but as for being a party to any conspir
acy for the nomination of Blaine, Sher
man or Harrison, I desire to enter a pro
test. . I will keep out of the contest, and
cast my vote for whomever I shall de
termine will be the winner. Without
much doubt there will be several ballots
cast. ' A man must be very popular who
would secure the nomination ; on the
first ballot, and such we have not, cer
tainly, when such a large proportion - of
delegates are uninstructed. -"V ;
A Celestial Stowaway- . .
San Francisco, May 18. A horrible
discovery was made on ' the barken tine
W. H. Dimond yesterday just in from
Honolulu. While the.. Dimond was in
the harbor of Honolulu, a dead Chinese,
with marks of vdilence on his head, was
found floating alongside of her. Suspic
ion was lasteneu on Illinois wise, a i
colored cook of the Dimond, and on the '
departure of the vessel Detective
Lockhart followed on the Australia
J.I
to
investigate. , A nasty search of the cabin
snowed a lew splasnes of blood on the
wall, and on this shadowy evidence he
was arrested. Yesterday it occurred to
Lockhart to make a more careful exam
ination of the cabin, for there was really t
nothing on which to ask for extradition
or conviction of the prisoner. . In . the
search there . was found closely packed
beneath a thin false partition the entire
suit of clothing of the Chinese, satur
ated with blood.,, JBeneath the lower
bunk were other large blood . stains,
which had escaped notice on the first ex
amination, and which - Wise, presumed
to be the guilty - man, had forgotten to
wash off. The theory is that the
Chinese had asked .Wise to stow him
away. and bad shown bun' money, '.which
tempted Wise's cupidity, and the murder
followed. , -
- Butte Mine Horror.
Butte, Mont.; May ; 18. It is. now
known that nine miners were killed by
the cave-in at the Anaconda - mine? near
Butte. , Fourteen were entombed and it
was at- first thought that all were killed,
but five have so far been taken out alive,
and it is positively known that all the
remainder are dead They,are Jerry ;N.
Harrington, Dan, Sheehan, Quinn Leary,
William Hyland, T'. C. Murphy," John
Smith, 6. Steward,' Wniiam Clarke nnd
John ' Jiordstrom.- ' Four, of he. bodie
liave been recovered, but it will be a day
or two yet before the others are reached.
' Tens of thousands of tons - of rock
are strewn between the rescuers and the.
bodies- of 'their -dead eonirades.;--Tlie
cause of the accident is stated to be that
an unusually heavy blast was fired just
before the cave-in occurred, - and it is
thought that it loosened the rock, which
formed the roof of the gallery.

New Your, May 18, The" steameH
from Venezuela yesterday brought Gen.
Solaneo,', a special , envoy t . President
Andusea Palacio, on bis way to Europe
with $80,000 more to be added to' the
credit of Palacio,' bis 'rainy day 'sav-
ings," which is variously, estimated
from $300,000 to $10,000,000. . Ecsidtis
this $80,000 Gen. Solanzo wns given a
highly important- communication to
Guzman Blanco. For several weeks
Palacio was suspected of intending to
invoke the ex-dictator's help, luiving
given several important offices to his
adherents in Venezuela, but it was not
generally believed be would go to the
extreme of inviting Blanco to return nnd
take the presidency,- guaranteeing him
the retention and enjoyment of his ill-
gotten gains, in addition to helping him
enrich himself etill further, all the time
acting under a guise of constitutionality
and pretending to have only the best
interests of the country at heart.
'. No Satisfactory llesults.
London, May 17. A Berlin corre
spondent . says : "In financial circles
here the belief prevails that an interna
tional silver conference will have no sat
isfactory results. Germany will only
accept the invitation because she does
not desire to hold aloof from the other
powers. The government and the rich
have always been opposed to biraetal
i8m.: They even rejected the motion a
few years ago declaring Germany's will
ingness to negotiate if England had pre
viously adopted bimetallism."

of Rev. William Brunt,' ami finding no

prepare dinner for him at the point of a
pistol. After eating heartily, he leaped
out of the window. Miss Brunt seized a
gun and shot Gil more, thirteen buckshot
striking. , He died in a few minutes. A
reward of $300 was out for him, to which
Miss Brunt becomes entitled. .

Washington-, May 18. Yesterday an
attack was made upon the river and
harbor bill from an unexpected quarter.
It is claimed that notice has been re-
ceived from the White house by the re-
puoucan meuiDers ot tne commerce
committee, to the effect that it would
be letter to scale down the present river
and harbor bill 25perct. This is backed
up by assertions from the secretary of
the treasury, to the effect that the prob
able revenues do not seem liable to
meet the actnal cost 'of conducting the
government under the present system of
finances.
The republican members of the senate
appropriation committee have been not- '
ified that it would be well to keep down
appropriations to as low a limit as pos
sible, yet it is doubtful whether the
commerce committee of the senate
will take much stock in what President .
Harrison proposed, because many mem
bers of that committee nn the republi
can side are not any too well please!
with the president. Further than that,
a large volume made its appearance in
the senate '. txiay, which is the report of
the. committee on commerce on tlife
river and harbor bill. .
It contains over 400 pages of printed
matter and is very complete in discuss
ing every project contained in the pres
ent river and harbor bill and shows by
facts and figures, the necessity for the
passage of such a bill and of the vast
benefits to accrue to commence on that
account." It is believed the committee .
wijr not now
take the back track and
move to scalo the bill, down, simply,
because the president is desirous.pf U. -In
view of the showing made bv the-
i report it is doubtful if any attempt will
! be made bv the senate commerce com
mittee to scale down, the bill. One of
the first suggestions by the administra- . .'
tion was that the contract system should!
be stricken from the hill, but this met
with so much disfavor that it was not
pressed. ' In fact, the- contract system,
provided for future 'appropriations
rather than current expenditures.
